Description: Crews will close the ramps for a third consecutive weekend to work around a new concrete median barrier separating the southbound I-5 and I-5 express lanes off-ramps to Mercer Street.
Traffic: Crews will close the southbound I-5 and I-5 Express Lanes off-ramps to Mercer Street for construction beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 until 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 26. During the closure, crews will pave and do other tasks in support of the new concrete median barrier crews spent the last two weekends building. Once complete, this work will separate the two ramps, allowing for the express lanes ramp to become reversible upon the project's completion in fall 2024. All southbound drivers will need to exit north or south of Mercer Street during this time. Please note: The express lanes itself are not closed during this work, only the off-ramp to Mercer Street which is only in use when the express lanes are in the southbound direction.
